Bodalla State Forest. Just arrived. Not as packed out as I thought. Great to break the chains and be here.

UPDATE 1.05PM

The north side, spaces up the hill, have filled up now. This stopover is going to be a shakedown, more than likely, between me and generators. Or music beats. It’s that sort of place. The bottom van has a generator going now, but it’s noisily windy and he’s away. I’m expecting a shit time with them so I don’t get caught unawares.

An elderly couple arrived inba van adjacent. That could have one, understandably.

…After reading the NYT and going to the loo facilities in the dark, this is a shot at the time I left Waldron’s Swamp rest area for breakfast at the quarry then a shower sth side of the river at one of my usual spots.

UPDATE 3.38PM

Dust blooming everywhere as a noisy truck towing a caravan tried every which way to jam a ridiculously overlong rig into various spots. Wanting luxury, the silly bastards after half an hour ended up driving away. Couldn’t fit, couldn’t stop.

Not for the first time I’ve been grateful for my fabulous van. Hassle free everywhere I go.

UPDATE 4.56PM

Calm evening. Fingers crossed re any generators.

Late afternoon, my – super quiet – neighbours next door. The most beautiful human thing I’ve seen since going out and about.
